about

This is one of the first lyrics driven songs I wrote after years as an instrumentalist. I recorded it on four track cassette first and then created this version with my friend Kenny Bentley.

lyrics

1. Now that I’m alone again, and I’m right back on my own again,
I take my wool coat and my wool hat and go walkin’ in the rain

I know not where I’m going to, and I see no one I know,
I’m just an aimless wanderer tryin’ to figure out where to go,

But my thoughts are back with you. What more could I do?
I don’t need no more confusion, I won’t take you back again

2. Never quite asleep, and I’m never quite awake,
I toss and turn about my bed as I tally up mistakes,

I've turned this whole thing over, and I still don't understand,
On a lonely subway platform with my notebook in my hand,

Writing down thought on you, What more could I do?
I don’t need no more confusion, I won’t take you back again

3. Nothing smell like loneliness, and nothing quells my pain,
Nothing seeps in to my pores, much as wet wool in the rain

I woke up in the still of night, saw the writing on the wall,
I quietly gathered up my things and I tip-toed down the hall,

But my thoughts are back with you, What more could I do?
I don’t need no more confusion, your love was an illusion,
I’ve awoke from my delusion, I won’t take you again,
I won’t take you back again,
I won’t take you back, take you back, take you back again.

about

Ted Hefko and The Thousandaires New Orleans, Louisiana

Ted Hefko & The Thousandaires stir up an intoxicating brew of the profound and the profane, of virtue and vice and most importantly the volatile in-between. Ted’s songs explore hope and hustlers, saints and strays, drifters and the down-and-out. The band brings these stories to life with the spontaneity of jazz, and the rough-hewn, bare-bones tone of backwoods rhythm and bllues. ... more
